Market Movers Blog: UK investors report uptick in trading post-Covid-19

Share Share
Our research shows that the COVID-19 crisis has resulted in a significant increase in retail investors trading individual stocks. This trend has been fuelled by a combination of factors including increased volatility in the markets, people having more time on their hands as a result of being furloughed, and, in some cases, an alternative to betting on sporting events, which had been cancelled.
However, investing in shares should always be part of a planned and balanced investment portfolio. For many retail investors a portfolio is likely to consist of a mix of funds, ETFs and potentially some individual stock positions, as well as a cash reserve.
